libraryDependencies for com.eed3si9n#sbt-assembly;0.13.0: not found

Question

I am building a sbt plugin and want to reference assembly task in the sbt-assembly plugin ( to be dependent on my task)

to do this i need to reference it as a library (

Answer 1

It is not resolving because you did not specify a scala version. It should be something like:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
    "com.eed3si9n" % "sbt-assembly_2.11" % "0.13.0"
)

Or, to automatically get the scala version used in project:

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
    // notice the double %% here
    "com.eed3si9n" %% "sbt-assembly" % "0.13.0"
)

But, sbt-assembly is not supposed to be installed that way. The docs show that you must add the following line to your project/plugins.sbt instead:

addSbtPlugin("com.eed3si9n" % "sbt-assembly" % "0.14.2")

If developing an sbt plugin, the addSbtPlugin line has to go directly into ./build.sbt.
